I bought mine new in fall 01 and rolled 12,000 miles on it around summer of 04. My boy was born in the spring of the same year and my girl was born about 16 months ago. It has 12,500 on it now. I swore I was a biker but things change when you have kids. Now my bike sits under my dads house. I get it out once every six months and fire it up to hear it run and keep it lubed. I will probably never put tags on it again. My kids still may grow up with out their dad. Anything can happen. But it won't be because some idiot in a cage pulled out in front of daddy and sent him 300 feet through the air into on-coming traffic. I don't want to go out like that, although it use to not bother me. I always said I want to die doing something I love. Now I want to die an old crotchety grandpa
